A world record was set at Tattersalls earlier today for a yealing filly when the full sister to Listen (Fillies mile winner) went for 2.5million. The surprise for many will be that neither John (Magnier or Ferguson) were involved in the bidding.

The war was between Charlie Gordon-Watson acting on behalf of an owner with Luca Cumani, and Simon Christian who was acting on behalf od Pat Fahey (owner of Ask). Gordon-Watson went to 2.5million and Christian called for time.

Gordon-watson was a busy man today, his purchases included two others that both went for a million.

A few on here will be interested that a 3/4 relative to Cassydora went to Shadwell for 260,000.

By the way, during my four days at Tatts this week, i found the real reason why John Magnier is SO rich.

He only has bought one set of clothes!

Seriously, for a man as rich as he is, he wore the same clothes everyday of the sale. I really hope he changed his underwear
